The Monday meeting included the FBI, IRS, Federal Reserve, Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, Federal Deposit Insurance Corp., Secret Service and Department of Homeland Security. Jon Matonis, the executive director or the Bitcoin Foundation, said the event was packed to capacity, and even held more meeting on Tuesday for government officials that were unable to attend. The focus wasn’t to discuss policy or law enforcement agenda, but was instead intended to educate on the technical side of Bitcoin.
